[MOSAIC] literacy stations

[Ellen K Closs]

At my school 1st and 2nd grade teachers are expected to meet with every 
reading group each day (at least 4 days per week).  For me this meant 6 
groups x 15 min. each = 90 min.  Reading based centers could include reading 
(book boxes), reading journals (comprehension), literature circles, buddy 
reading, and listening to name a few).  60 of the 90 minutes was spent 
reading (15 min. with me for guided reading, 15 min. free choice reading, 
and 30 min. reading workshop where they read their leveled or guided reading 
books and wrote in their reading journals working on strategies.  I would 
also have either writing, math, science/social studies, art and word work 
centers (which were generally literacy based due to need to work with small 
groups/materials.  I think that  it really depends on how the teacher uses 
centers in their classroom, and they can included lots of reading 
activities:)  Just my opinion:)
